Shipping dates will now vary from person to person, but Motorola has pledged to ensure that all buyers will receive their order within a day of it being sent out, according to Android Central.

All delayed handsets will be shipped overnight free of charge.

The Moto G uses a 4.5-inch 720p edge-to-edge display that Motorola claims is the sharpest display in its class. The front of the screen is protected via Gorilla Glass 3, while the whole phone is curved for ergonomics like the Moto X.

The device is powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor and a 2070mAh battery, with a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing shooter.

Motorola is also selling the device in European territories including the UK, making it the first handset released in the region since it entered Google ownership.
